Necklaces

Necklaces built for daily wear

An ENSIA necklace is 18K gold plated over stainless steel and sealed with an anti-tarnish coat, so the chain you leave on for weeks looks the same as the day it arrived. No dull patches at the clasp, no green line on the neck, and no taking it off before a shower.

What's in the collection

• Dainty chains — fine cable, snake and bead chains at 40–45 cm that sit at the collarbone and layer under anything.
• Pendant necklaces — hearts, evil eye, moon, bow and stone pendants on adjustable chains.
• Pearl necklaces — a single pearl or a pearl-and-bow pendant on a fine chain, the most gifted style in the range.
• Layered sets — two or three chains on one clasp, so the layered look takes ten seconds in the morning and never tangles.
• Statement pendants — sculpted and stone-set pieces for evenings, sangeets and gifting.

How to layer necklaces

Start with a 40 cm chain at the collarbone, add a 45 cm pendant below it, and finish with a 50 cm chain if you want three tiers. Keep the chains different in weight — one fine, one medium — so they don't slide into each other. Most ENSIA chains have a 5 cm extender, which lets you set each layer exactly where you want it.

Gold plated vs real gold vs artificial

Real gold at these designs would cost twenty to forty times more. Regular artificial jewellery uses a thin gold flash over brass or copper that fades in weeks and reacts with skin. ENSIA sits in between: a proper 18K gold layer over stainless steel, protected by a coat that resists sweat, perfume and humidity, backed by a 6-month anti-tarnish replacement promise — which is also why you can shower in it. Pair a pendant with matching earrings or stack a chain with a cuff. Read our care guide to keep it shining.
